7 Vitamins For The Soul
Vitamins are sources of nourishment for the physical body and fill it with
strength. We take vitamins through various sources of food. Spiritual wisdom
and meditation are both connections with God, which nourish the soul with 7
spiritual vitamins -
1. Peace - An experience of deep calmness where there are no questions asked,

there is a deep contentment and subtle acceptance of everyone and everything.
A beautiful thought of peace is - I am a soul full of peace ... I feel, experience
and radiate peace to everyone.
2. Joy - An experience of overflowing lightness and enthusiasm, where there is

a feeling of connecting deeply with the qualities of the self, others and nature.
An affirmation of joy is - I am joyful and light ... I touch everyone with my inner
positive energy.
3. Love - A deep feeling of goodness for the self, God and everyone and
everything around, where the heart feels like benefitting and fulfilling. A deep
reflection of love is - I am an angel of love ... I care, share and express myself
deeply for the benefit of others.
4. Bliss - A beautiful emotion, where one feels that one has found everything
that the heart desires and does not need anything else. A very deep feeling of
bliss is expressed as - I am a blissful soul ... I connect with God and fill myself
with everything He possesses.
5. Purity - A deep experience of cleanliness, where the soul has erased all its
negativity and has become perfect. A positive affirmation of purity is - I am a
pure spiritual energy ... I learn and experience God's wisdom to clean myself of
Page 1 of 47
all sins and mistakes.
6. Power - An emotion of strength and stability, where the soul has stopped
fearing and is tolerant at the same time. A positive reflection of power is - I am
soul conscious and completely free from body conscious ... no situation can
shake me and touch my inner strength.
7. Truth - A feeling of becoming an embodiment of the wisdom of the soul and

God and experiencing that wisdom in every thought, word and action. A deep
thought of truth is - I know all truths from God and remain in self-respect ... at
the same time I am humble.

Message for the day 18-02-2021
-----------------------------------------
Love spreads positivity.
Expression: The one who is loving is not limited by circumstances and his love
is not restricted only to certain people. On the other hand, it is revealed in each
and every act thus colouring everything and every relationship with the beauty
of that love. To be loving is to be constantly a giver. It also means to forgive
others easily and help them to move forward.
Experience: When I am loving constantly, I am able to experience the joy of

life. I am able to exchange the gifts of pure feelings and find my life enriched
with them. I am able to enjoy the beauty of relationships without having to feel
the bondage due to expectations. Each moment of my life is filled with beauty
and joy.

The Journey Of Joyful Parenting (Part 3)
The present generation of parents has access to a lot of information on the

internet. As a result, we often feel the need to reach for every available
information to help our children. In our effort to do our best for them, we forget
Page 2 of 47
that it’s important to accept our children as they are. There is a big difference
between fear and instinct, and we must learn how to separate the two. Worry or
fear doesn’t make one a better parent. To avoid making such mistakes, let’s
remember that keeping ourselves confident, cheerful and happy is the key.
Parents should also make time for the little things that benefit them
spiritually. Parents must have faith in themselves, rediscover their own
needs and take out time for things that give them inner fulfillment. This
is because our spiritual development and inner goodness and contentment is
continuously creating our children and their personalities.
When it comes to our own health, we must remember that we should practice
what we preach, and care for ourselves like we do for the health of our children.
Parents should also remember that they are also managing the relationship with
each other along with the one they have with their own children. While taking
care of children, these fragile bonds can shatter under stress. As parents, the
best thing we can give to our children is to respect the differences in opinion
between each other and love and care for each other. A good relationship of
trust and goodwill between parents does half the work of creating a
beautiful child, with an all-round development. Lastly, we must remember
that parenthood is like a conversation that lasts a lifetime. There are so many
things we want to teach our children, so many things we can learn from them
and so many new life experiences to be felt together. So with our children … we
should keep it open … we should keep it honest. And relish the journey of joyful
parenting!
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To give regard to all is to win the love of all.
Expression: To give regard to someone who is older and more experienced is

one thing, but it is also important to have regard to someone who is younger.
When there is such regard, interaction with them would surely be positive. The
words spoken would be encouraging and giving them support and never putting
them down even when they make mistakes.
Experience: When I am able to give regard to everyone, I am able to win the

love of all. I am not dependent on others’ love for giving them regard, but am
able to appreciate them as they are. I am able to see their specialities and
encourage them to use these specialities. This naturally wins the love of others,
along with bringing improvement in their own life.

Children should also be made to experience the closeness with nature at a

tender age, so that they can observe life in a very basic way. When we look
around the people we know, we see people from all kinds of different
backgrounds who followed various different paths through life. They all ended up
as wonderful and knowledgeful people, fulfilled in different ways and to different
extents. Similarly, we should let our children the same freedom to create their
own path through life. Children should also be taught to question everything, but
not with a sense of suspicion. They should also be taught to trust
naturally. Love, openness and meditativeness, as virtues in parents, can
give powerful vibrations to children, to help them enrich their inner
potential.
Also, children must learn to take matters of physical and mental health
seriously. They should learn to cherish their minds and bodies and to take
responsibility for maintaining them. How they see their every personal action is
related to how they treat the external environment. The role of a parent,
therefore, becomes of a coach, giving everything they can, to help them
off the field, so that they can run the best race possible. As a parent, it’s
hard not to feel sometimes, as though you are being assessed along with your
children. Therefore at times we make decisions based on how it makes us look,
rather than how it makes our children feel, which is wrong and we should take
care that it does not happen.

The one who is patient experiences constant success.
Expression: I always expect things to happen fast. Even with a little effort on
my part I expect high results. Because of my impatience I just can’t wait, I jump
to conclusions and react without understanding the problem. Thus, I find it
difficult to experience success in whatever I do.
Experience: I need to understand that the fruit of the seeds I sow will come at
their own time. This gives me the patience to wait without expecting results too
Page 4 of 47
fast. Also, patience allows me to be calm even in the most negative situations.
Thus, I will be able to experience success whatever the immediate result of my
actions might be.

When we have a child, a pure soul, we make a choice to live our life in the form
of a beautiful, complete family, which we had the privilege to create consciously.
Children are tender souls with pure consciousness. As parents, we often feel the
need to know the right ways of nurturing them, so that they grow into good
natured human beings. When we navigate the unfamiliar waters of parenthood,
most of us will face challenges of different kinds. In those moments, it is
important to remain sure of oneself and in touch with your own intuitions. It is a
myth, especially among new parents, that being a parent comes naturally. Love
and care may come on their own to most of us, but the two are not
synonymous with being a good parent. It is only a part of what it takes
to bring up children, and definitely not enough on their own.
Firstly, it’s important to release the feeling of attachment and ownership over
children. We should try to build a relationship of liberation, where we look at
them as just another soul, with their own past karmas. We should also
understand that having children is a privilege and it’s our role to protect them
from wrong influence, but also, in that process, we do not inculcate a sense of
fear in them, which will make them shy from seeking help in future life
situations. Drawing the line between instilling caution and creating unnecessary
fear is an art. As a parent, it’s also very important to create involvement
with children. Building a loving and supportive environment helps them
experience life, where they can learn the significance of giving in
relationships. As conscious and responsible beings, parents need to be equally
joyful, for the benefit of their child and to fill them with the same energy. This
creates the necessary ambience for nurturing children positively, and helps them
in navigating life effortlessly.

To live in the present is to be free from the influence of the past.
Expression: Many times the past keeps coming back again and again in the
mind, influencing the present too. The present is lost in thinking about the past.
So there can be nothing done to enjoy the present. All words and actions then
are totally coloured by the past. Instead the one who is able to free himself from
the influence of the past is able to move positively towards the future.
Experience: To be free from the influence of the past it is important to have a

powerful consciousness of the present. To be able to be free from the influence
of the past is to forget the past. Because there is the understanding that it is
gone. Also, there is no worry about the future. When I am able to learn to live in
the present, I am able to discover how full it is of peaceful moments.

Feel And Experience The True Meaning Of Unconditional Love
We are all beautiful in qualities and loveful in character as we experience

the Earth in the beginning and come down from the soul world to play our
roles over here through our physical bodies. Love expresses itself
naturally as we begin our journey. Our love is like God's love - very very
unconditional, always flowing to each and every soul in the world, without
asking for anything in return. Slowly with time as we get older and
experience many births on Earth, our love begins to expect instead of
accept others. We feel sorrow because we are attached. We feel pain
because we always want more. We feel disturbed because the other
person is different from us. We feel we own the other person and want to
dominate instead of relate to them. What is the true meaning of
unconditional love -
1. A love that is limitless, without any boundaries and without any fixed
demands.
Page 6 of 47
2. A love that does not see the other's weaknesses and instead loves their
qualities.
3. A love that is blissful, strong and with no hidden fears and insecurities.
4. A love that adjusts and moulds according to the other person and is
willing to sacrifice.
5. A love that feels God and brings His goodness and big-heartedness in a
human relationship.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To bring in light is to finish darkness.
Expression: Usually when there is any negativity seen, there is a lot of

attention paid to it. All the positivity remains hidden and only the
negativity is highlighted. So the one who is caught up with a negative
attitude colours all his words and actions too with this negativity and will
naturally create a world of negativity for himself.
Experience: When I am able to see the positivity even in both positive

situations and negative situations, I am able to influence others with my
positivity. Others’ negativity will not influence me in a negative way, but I
will be able to remain powerful in all situations. I will experience inner
growth constantly.

Enhancing Your Will Power Through Fasting
Page 7 of 47
Fasting Strengthens Our Will Power And Enhances Self Discipline Which
Helps In Soul Cleansing.
Almost all faiths and traditions advocate fasting as a tool to spiritual

upliftment. Most of us today find ourselves saying that we cannot live
without mobiles, the internet, a car, an AC, coffee, etc. At such times, the
days of fasting make us aware of our own strength and will power which
we are not using. Fasting creates a disciplined regime and self
control which takes us on a path of higher consciousness. The
discipline of fasting teaches us that once we create a determined
thought, nothing is impossible. As we practice fasting on a physical
level, we can also do it on a mental level. It is only a decision. We can
decide that for a few days we will choose peace instead of anger, in every
situation.
In every faith, the fast is not just purely for a few minutes or hours but
for weeks or even a month or more, because it takes time to realize,
appreciate and sustain changes at a deep-rooted level. During any fast
it is important to give attention to intention. Are we doing it because
our religion says we must do it; everyone is doing it so we must do it;
have been doing it every year; to appease God; if we don't do it we will
be punished... If it is any of these or similar intentions, then pause and
consciously change the intention to a higher purpose. We do it so that it
gives us the strength to connect to God, and to clean our self of
our weaknesses of ego, anger, greed, jealousy and pain. Let us
choose one sanskar of ours today, and let us make a firm resolve that for
a few days we will abstain from it - irritation, criticism, anger... and use
instead a sanskar of patience, appreciation, love. If we are holding any
hurt or animosity, now is the time, create one powerful thought - Past is
Passed, it's over. Forgiveness is the message of every religion, so let us
follow religion. All religions teach love and unity, so let go of every
negative thought. Let us not just cleanse our body, but cleanse the
mind also. Religion gave us the tradition of fasting, so that it comes as a
reminder for us to take out time for soul cleansing.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To make the aim and qualification equal is to bring perfection.
Expression: To have an aim that is high is to naturally bring about the

desire to do the best in everything. But also important is to make effort to
Page 8 of 47
bring about those qualifications that are needed to fulfill this aim. So the
one who has the desire to make the aim and qualifications equal is the
one who is able to bring beauty to every action.
Experience: When I am able to make constant effort to bring in those

qualities that are necessary for my aim I am able to bring perfection. I am
able to experience the satisfaction of bringing a lot of change in a short
time. I experience constant progress as I continue to make effort to move
on towards my aim.

Accept Change, Don’t Resist It (Part 3)
With reference to yesterday’s message, the third power shared by the

Brahma Kumaris to the businessman was the power to let go of all the
memories of past negative events. He was advised to take out time to
indulge in pure service - share all that he had learnt at the Brahma
Kumaris with one person everyday. He made a principle of his life
called Each One Teach One Each Day. This became his hobby. All the past
negative incidents that were reducing his ability to perceive positively a
negative situation and accepting it were pushed back and forgotten. He
became a new person, from one with a negative past to one with a fresh
mind eager to fill new positive experiences in itself. This would help him in
crossing an uncertain present and constructing a positive future.
Also, another power to achieve success in the change of perception and
Page 9 of 47
then accept was the power to think correctly based on beliefs based
on spiritual truths. E.g. the belief - I will be unable to emerge victorious
over this negative event in my life was replaced by – Every negative
situation is a blessing to achieve significant transformation in the self.
This is not possible without the existence of the negative event. These
spiritual truths were a part of the complete spiritual knowledge of the
Brahma Kumaris which is in the form of a week-long, an hour per day,
introductory study course. This course was undertaken by the
businessman.
The last power was the power of an everyday morning input of

holistic and pure knowledge after the week-long introductory course
was undertaken. This was taken at the centre of the Brahma Kumaris,
which as discussed earlier, went a long way in creating a positive
environment inside his mind. It was an environment full of positive
perceptions. As a result, negative circumstances became easy to face.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To appreciate variety is to harmonise.
Expression: When there is recognition that each human being is unique

with his own unique set of capabilities, there is the ability to respect him
for what he is. Then all attempts are made to harmonise with him instead
of trying to make him just like oneself. So energy is channelised in the
right direction and one becomes an inspiration for others too.
Experience: To appreciate variety means to see the beauty and

specialities of each and every individual. It means to appreciate the
natural positive qualities in everyone and learn to blend my own qualities
with theirs. This gives me the satisfaction of the beauty of relationships,
because there are no expectations and no disappointments.

Building Beautiful And Blissful Relationships
We souls, in many births, create and sometimes harm relationships also.

What we often lose sight of, is that relationships can make and harm us
too. As any relationship goes through its own phases, we keep swaying to
and fro with the waves, and incorrectly bounce back and forth between
joy and sorrow. The joyous moments seem to pass too soon, and
dejection from a loved one seems to take a longer time to evaporate.
Despite being aware of this negative cycle, we long for true
relationships. How do we build beautiful relationships, where we
feel positively involved, but not entangled? The key lies in using our
emotions creatively to build the right foundation for building a beautiful
connection with another soul. Fundamental aspects need to be
introspected. Are we doing it for self-fulfillment or because we want to
share and express the simple joys of life? If we pursue a life full of
positive consciousness, and not negative compulsiveness, it is possible
and within our reach to live magically, without any emotional
inadequacies and full of basic life energy.
Relationships can become full of harmony when we practice inclusion of

another soul in our life, and not management of the thoughts of another
soul. Every colour that the relationship adorns, can be experienced and
cherished in its own way. In this kind of incorporation between two souls,
differences in opinion don’t look so alarming. By embracing simplicity
and enhancing our own way of being, bead by bead, stitch by
stitch, new and beautiful relationships are woven naturally on
their own. Most importantly, a relationship is not always about thinking
about someone. Feelings of love, care and respect is about our own self
too. When connections are routed in soul consciousness, it is no more
about give and take. If we are able to identify our originality as pure
souls, relationships become more and more visible as an exchange of
energy. We understand that it is just one of the aspects of our lives, and
that we don’t have to structure our lives around it. So much of our
potential would then find expression in various ways that we have not
imagined.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------

The best way to get respect is to give respect to the self.
Expression: There is always an expectation of getting respect from those

around. The one who is totally dependent on others for their own sense of
well-being tends to react to situations, even if they are very insignificant
ones. On the other hand, the one who is able to give respect to the self
gives respect to others too and so gets respect himself.
Experience: When I am able to see my own specialities, I am able to

have respect for myself. Then I am not dependent on external sources for
my inner state of mind. I remain free from all external influences, and am
able to become a source of influence for those around me. I constantly
enrich my own internal state with each thing that happens.

Relationships Are Precious …. Never Give Up
There is one very simple rule for success that we need to learn. Just try
one more time in a different way before you decide to quit. Sometimes in
any relationship things don’t seem to be going right and we decide to give
up. Let’s pause and remind ourselves - The relationship is our baby - we
created it, we nurtured it, we cannot finish it. Let’s take up the complete
responsibility to make it as beautiful as we want it to be.
Let’s stop blaming them; asking them to change; going into pain; getting
angry and saying words which we would regret. If the relationship is
important to us, we have to look at only one person – ourself. Let’s put in
all our love, patience, respect, trust and care into that relationship. Let’s
try one more time in a different way and wait for the magic to reveal.
Page 12 of 47
If there is any one relationship whether family, friends or at work, where
we had given up, let’s try again today.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To receive blessings is to become worthy of them.
Expression: Sometimes there is a desire to receive blessings from God

or someone who is considered more powerful. But the one who has truly a
thought of winning the love, regard and blessings of the other person is
able to put in effort to be worthy of it. So he is constantly trying to be
better and better in what he does. Thus he becomes worthy of everyone’s
blessings.
Experience: When I am constantly making myself more and more

worthy, I naturally win the love, trust and blessings from all those I come
into contact with. I am committed to whatever I do and know that the
blessings of God are with me because I am making effort. I have no fear
or insecurity, but go on doing what I have to do with confidence.

Beauty In Character (Part 3)
We live in a world where we are all closely connected with each other. We
all want to have a good nature but what is stopping us from changing
ourselves? Is it a lack of determination or is it because we see everyone
around us performing different types of negative actions which prevent us
from seeing our own weaknesses. We think its fine to make mistakes and
that’s the way the world works. Is it not high time we took on the
responsibility of self change and bought positive changes inside ourselves,
which others can see and we also know and realize are happening inside
us?
Page 13 of 47
So, let’s make a promise to ourselves that we will look inwards
and check where we are making mistakes. We will check deeply and
not only on the surface. And then we will take the help of God and use
our own spiritual strength to bring those changes in ourselves. Let’s do
this favour on ourselves. Good human beings are few but they will always
get the love and respect of all those whom they come in contact with. So,
perform a simple practice for the next few months. Take one quality
which you want to see in yourself and for one week, keep attention on
yourself that you will bring that quality in your thoughts, words and
actions. Then in the week after that, take one weakness and ensure that
is not seen in your personality for that particular week. Do this for some
time and see the difference it makes to your personality. Choose different
qualities that you like and different weaknesses that you dislike and work
on them separately. This will make you a perfect person. Of course, the
tools that will help you in this process are introspection, spiritual wisdom
and methods like meditation. So, let’s make a start today. When we
change, the world changes. Self transformation will lead to world
transformation.
-----------------------------------------

To be free is to be free even from the bondage of things.
Expression: The one who is dependent on the presence of a particular

thing to succeed in a task is also under the bondage of that thing. Such a
person will not be able to put in effort to his full capability since he is
always thinking of what is lacking. On the other hand the one who tries to
find a way to do the task at hand even when there is nothing available is
the one who finds new resources. He is then able to use these resources
too for accomplishing the task.
Experience: When I am thinking more about what is to be done rather

than thinking about what is lacking, I am able to be content with what I
have. I am able to appreciate every small thing that is present in my life
that I could use for my own benefit and that of others. I am able to work
for what I want to achieve without being caught up only with the desires.

day 06-02-2021

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
A person with a good heart will always carry good and pure
intentions for everyone. Before performing any action, check how
honest and how innocent your intentions are. A person who is of
good character will not perform any action with any false desires in his
heart and mind. Am I the type of person who is jealous of the other or am
I a person who is keen that the other person move ahead, so much that
he or she can even go ahead of me in any field? Am I so big-hearted?
When seeing someone in pain, that someone who has harmed me or
insulted me in the past, am I able to empathize and sympathize with such
a person? Or do I internally, somewhere in the corner of my heart, feel
slightly pleased when such a person goes through pain. These and many
more are some of the questions to which I need to give honest answers.
These answers are never revealed to anyone, but we know them inside.
Am I a nice person just on the outside or am I truly sweet not only

in my words and actions but in the inner corners of my heart? This
is the space where no one enters and only I am a witness to what
is happening. Purity in character means no trace of revenge or anger or
jealousy or hatred for anyone, even in my thoughts and feelings. Am I
truly like that? Your mannerisms are external and visible but your
character is not just what is visible but what only you know and are aware
of. So, do a check – Do I reach upto God’s definition of a good person,
which we have explained in this message? Do remember one thing.
Everything we think about others, the slightest negativity in thoughts and
feelings as well as attitudes reaches the other, even if we hide it from
them externally. So be a good person with nice mannerisms and purity in
character not only in words and actions, but in your thoughts also.
-----------------------------------------

To be free is to be free even from the bondage of things.

A very important part of our lives is touching each one we meet with our
love and good wishes at every step. We all know what a good natured
person is and that we should be one and give happiness to
everyone. We all also know that people all over the world, who are nice
natured, differ from the rest of the world and stand above everyone else.
They are respected more and also they get the blessings of everyone
much more. How often do we say, such a person is extremely kind
hearted, is always giving care and support to all those whom he or she
comes across. Have you ever thought of becoming pure in character? We
all know that a person who speaks and acts with purity is seen as
someone with higher sanskaras or inner personality.
What use is physical or material success, if the person who has

succeeded does not fulfill the criteria of a good person, with nice
Page 16 of 47
mannerisms and a nice nature? Such a person may win material
wealth, fame and a tag of success. But does he or she win everyone’s
heart and blessings? Because unless you are loved and respected as a
person, you will never experience inner joy and satisfaction, even if you
have succeeded externally. After all, isn’t it often said – The one who wins
hearts is the blessed one … ? On the other hand, the one who wins praise
but not love does not receive the gift of blessings and will always remain
discontented and unhappy. So to fly high in love, keep taking the
blessings of each one by having a beautiful inner personality and being a
positive person, gifting virtues to everyone. Let there not be a single
person, whom you dislike or who dislikes you.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
The one way of finishing waste thinking is to find a solution.
Expression: When there is something negative that happens the mind

tends to create a lot of waste and negative thoughts. At such a time there
is no clear understanding of what is to be done and so there is difficulty in
being positive at such a time. But once the problem is identified and the
right solution found, i.e., the right explanation is given, there is no more
waste thoughts, words or actions.
Experience: When I am able to find the right solution at each step,

whenever even negative situations happen, I am able to remain happy
and content. I am not worried about the problem at hand but I know
instead that this problem has come to increase my own inner strength
and capability. Thus I am able to maintain my inner positivity under all
circumstances.

Let's Protect The World From Cancer
(Spiritual Message On World Cancer Day – February 4th)
Today (February 4th) is World Cancer Day. Cancer continues to pose

a big challenge in the world today with millions of new cases every year
and high death rate. The pain and suffering that many cancer patients go
through is making the illness more dangerous day by day. Inspite of the
best of health care, we have been not been able to prevent this illness
from occuring in human bodies although we do have sophisticated
treatment available. How can we help the world in dealing with cancer?
Let's look at a few spiritual steps:
1. Everyday in your consciousness keep a positive thought - I am an

angel for this world. I am an instrument to radiate compassion, care and
strength to each and every soul who has experienced cancer in this world
and provide them my support who are all my brothers and sisters.
2. Create awareness of prevention is better than cure. Today I need to

create the importance of leading a stress free life all over the world.
Everyone I meet, I need to share the technique of meditation as a key to
freedom from stress, which is one of the important causes of cancer.
3. I also need to become an example for others, by taking care of my

physical body and following a regime of vegetarian meals cooked in God's
remembrance which are good for the mind and body, adequate sleep,
exercise and peaceful relaxation. Others who know me and interact with
me everyday will be inspired to do the same and prevent cancer from
occurring.
4. Wisdom of the soul and God and their qualities is today required very
deeply to fight all challenges in life, including cancer. Also, the deep
realization of the Law of Karma is extremely important in facing and in
experiencing stability in one of the biggest obstacles in the world today,
which is cancer. The Brahma Kumaris provides this wisdom in its
courses and also has a beautiful technique of Rajyoga meditation,
which millions of people are learning and practicing all over the
world at its centers.

To make the effort to take and give good wishes is to constantly

experience contentment.
Expression: Whatever the kinds of personality of the person, if there is

this one aim of taking and giving good wishes, there is positivity in every
interaction. Attention is paid to make every word and action full of
positivity. Words spoken only give happiness to others and give some
kind of support to the other person to be better than what he is.
Experience: When I understand the importance of having good wishes

for all, I am able to receive good wishes from others too. I am able to be
free from the influence of the negativity of the situations and people. So I
constantly experience inner happiness and contentment, even if I don't
get something outwardly.

Keeping The Balance With Ease (Part 3)
We are all action-conscious at times, forgetting that all the actions

are performed by the inner being or soul. Actions may seem to be
performed by our hands; words may seem to be spoken by our tongue
and everything we see and hear seems to done by our eyes and ears.
But, always remember, to keep a balance of all our actions and to
maintain a positive and powerful as well as detached state of mind which
does not get disturbed, we need to remember one thing. The hands,
tongue, eyes and ears, all of them are being controlled by the soul or the
real me. I am not Mr. X or Ms. Y. That is the name of the physical body or
Page 19 of 47
the physical costume I wear. The real I is the invisible being of spiritual
energy or non-physical light – the soul.
With this kind of soul-consciousness, I will look at all my actions and

words from a distance and not be worried too much in their involvement.
Things can go wrong at times. Work may go in the wrong direction,
people can at times be negative towards us and our physical body can be
ill at times. Also, there will be lot of actions to be completed at times. All
this will happen at times. Also, there will be days when there is lots to do.
But, if we remain soul-conscious, or in touch with the inner being,
remembering our spiritual qualities and powers, we will be remain at
peace and in control. So, work hard, have beautiful relationships full
of love and happiness and excel in every sphere of life. At the
same time, remember to keep the balance by remaining
introverted and detached. This is the key to contentment and a
stress free lifestyle full of calmness and self-esteem.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To have the ability to listen is to learn.
Expression: When there is the ability to listen there is the ability to

understand others and what they are saying. So the one who listens is
able to learn from every situation and each and every person whom he
comes across. So what he does and what he speaks is much more
effective.
Experience: When I understand that I am a student for my entire life, I

am able to be open to learning. So I am able to listen whole-heartedly.
Then, instead of only putting across what I have to say, I am able to pay
attention to what others are saying too. I am thus able to enrich myself
with new treasures constantly.

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
How do I keep myself stable and constant when surrounded by

lots of actions either in my personal life or my professional work
or anything else? As per the knowledge of who I am, what we see about
ourselves in the physical mirror is the way we look. Other than that, we
know our education, our personality, our skills and even our work or the
role we play. This is our physical self. But, inside this physical body and
the one which plays its part through the physical body is the inner being
or also called the soul. The soul is an energy which is a natural
storehouse of all our qualities and powers. If I experience these qualities
and powers inside my mind, which is a part of the soul, I will remain at
peace and in a content state of mind. But what happens is that when we
begin our actions, we lose our connection with the inner self. We start
acting on a physical level, without giving importance to the inner spiritual
self.
A very simple method to bring these qualities and powers into my

consciousness and then into my actions is reminding myself.
Reminding that I am a peaceful soul or I am a loveful soul or
even I am a powerful soul. What this will do is make you that. These
are called affirmations. The more I bring these qualities and powers into
actions, the more my actions will become streamlined and I will not get
over-involved with them. At the same time I will perform them
accurately, because my mind is focused and full. This is called soul-
consciousness and is a higher state of mind than being action-conscious.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To perceive the need to change is to bring about change for the

better.
Expression: When something goes wrong, there is generally a feeling of

being right. There is always a desire expressed to change the situation or
Page 21 of 47
the person. So there is no introspection, but only blame. Such words
discourage others too as they are constantly made aware of their
negativity.
Experience: When I am able to understand the importance of bringing

about change for the better in every situation that I am faced with, I am
able to recognize the message that the situation gives me. I am able to
use the situation to better myself and gradually progress towards the
vision of perfection that I have for myself.

--------------------------------------
Living a life which involves different actions, all of which are important in
their own way, sometimes requires adjusting to them at every step. E.g.
this morning, you have a meeting which is going to last for a couple of
hours. After that you have to work on a project, which is pending in your
office for a long time. And then, there are some phone calls to complete.
This can go on and on everyday and for day after day. This is called
being action oriented. I work and work very hard every day to
bring success in my role. Also, I want to keep love and respect
maintained in my relationships and at the same time maintain my
peace of mind and contentment. All this, I do, also realizing that my
physical body is to be kept healthy and also other different areas of my
life are to be maintained. Also, my personal time space in which I just
give time to myself is not to be forgotten.
So, a lot of actions filled in a day are tiring us at times. The above is a
typical day in the life of a working professional. The day just starts and
Page 22 of 47
ends before you know it, with no free time. Also, nowadays, an added
dimension in almost everyone’s lives is travel time. Then, there are things
to be taken care of like diet, rest and sleep and even taking care of what
everyone expects from me, fulfilling their demands and satisfying them.
Amongst all this, the one thing that remains constant is I, the inner
being. Spirituality teaches the technique of keeping myself stable
and rich with my internal treasures like peace, love, joy and
power. I need to do that when everything around me is so
changeable and constantly moving. Everything moves around me,
whereas I remain constant. That means I remain in one positive state of
mind constantly. Also, I don’t react, but only respond. I act, but don’t
become action oriented. I remain soul conscious, or inner being
conscious.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To be a master means to win over habits.
Expression: Normally habits rule over the person and there is the

inability to be a master over them. But to be a master is not to get
influenced negatively by the habits but to be a stronger influence. The
one who is a master never reacts to situations, but is able to respond to
situations positively. Such a person is free from negativity in words and
actions.
Experience: When there is inner silence I am able to overcome the

negative influence of my habits. Inner silence comes with an experience
of positivity. With practice I experience detachment from the situations
and am able to feel the inner powers which frees me from the negativity
of the situation too. So there is victory over the habit.

--------------------------------------
Rise Above Influences And Decide Accurately
Decision making power is closely connected to the power to discern. It reflects

our self-belief, faith, conviction and courage to pursue what we feel is accurate,
right and healthy. Today our criteria for decisions have become dependent
on decision of the majority. We are deciding our lifestyle on society’s definitions
of right or wrong. Even our beliefs about happiness, love, respect, anger and
stress are decided based on social conditioning. Decision making power is about
rising above the influence of - situations, emotions and opinions - so we can take
independent decisions and stand by them, even if we are standing alone. We do
not seek acceptance, appreciation or approval.
We carry forward only our sanskars and karmic accounts across our journey of
many lifetimes. Everything else like our body, position and possessions are
temporary. When we remain in this consciousness our decisions will naturally
focus on what is beneficial for the soul. As a result we do not shy away from
taking personal responsibility of the consequences of our decisions. At times, we
face situations where a decision is not about right or wrong, it is only a matter of
choice. For example, we may discern that 2 magazines lying on a table are good
to read. The next step is to decide which one to read first. Even in this simple
scenario few people cannot decide. They pick one, keep it back, pick the other,
keep that back…. Over-thinking, lack of personal responsibility or dependency on
other people weakens our decision making power. When we are stable,
discernment and decision will be accurate. We take decisions which will
strengthen the soul and enhance our emotional and physical health. The
decision will not only be right for us, but will also be beneficial to all.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
Where there is faith, there is greatness.
Expression: To have faith means to recognize the positivity in the self, in others
and in situations. It also means a deep connection with God. The one who has
faith is able to bring out the greatness in everything and everyone. So such a
person reveals his greatness wherever he is.
Experience: When I have unbroken faith, I have the understanding that
Page 24 of 47
everything that happens is for some good cause. So, I am satisfied with
everything that happens in my life. So I am creative in my responses to the
environment, which in turn, makes me truly great.

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
Accept With Ease And Remain Free From Expectations
The art of acceptance gives us the ability to remain calm and flow with life. It
helps us to live light and travel our journey remaining light as it frees us from a
baggage of expectations, anxieties and anticipations. We learn to accommodate
people and situations rather than resisting them or judge them as right or
wrong. We also do not hold them responsible for our emotions. Acceptance also
carries shades of appreciation, motivation, love and respect. As we experience
and practice acceptance, we experience greater acceptance from others. Also,
we accept and then act. Whatever the present moment contains, it teaches us to
accept it as if we had chosen it.
Acceptance does not mean everything is perfect, it means our state of

mind is perfect. Acceptance does not mean to let things be the way they are, it
means keeping our mind stable and working on the situation. Acceptance of
what has happened is the first step to start working towards the solution. We
need to accept our own self along with our mistakes or difficult sanskars first,
and only then focus on corrections. Else we go into guilt and regret which
deplete soul power. Acceptance moves us towards transformation. It allows us to
be free from the shackles of denial and move forward creating a new
path. Accepting other people means we accept that they are different
from us. It does not necessarily mean that we agree with them. It also
does not mean we accept people’s negative sanskars and let them be their way.
It only means our mind does not get disturbed, it remains detached from their
sanskar. Art of accepting situations means we understand this is it, rather than
question what is this and get into why, where, when, how. When we accept the
situation, our mind is silent and stable. Our efficiency and decision making power
increases. Our focus shifts from the problem towards the solution.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------

Humility wins hearts
Expression: The one who is humble is able to put the other person forward.
Such a person recognizes, appreciates and uses the specialities of others for the
success of any task. So, along with giving the best, he is also able to bring out
the best in the other person too. So, he is able to do the best in any task.
Experience: When I am humble, I experience harmony in relationships. I am

able to learn from the different experiences and make myself better and better
each day. So, I experience success in all I do. I am also able to win the hearts of
others and get good wishes from them.

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
Consciousness Cleansing (Part 3)
Purity of the mind is something that is to be made the aim of your life and is the
most important characteristic of your life. After all, the purer you are, the
more happiness you attract in your life. Each time we have an impure
thought we transmit an energy packet to the universe of a negative
nature. That energy packet will then come back to us in the form of a
sorrow filled circumstance which can be of any nature. So, purity of the
soul or our consciousness is the foundation of all our life experiences which come
to us from the outside world.
If a person is regularly having negative life experiences in the form of a series of

body illnesses, that means she has negative energy inside her due to some
negative action of her immediate or far off past. This negative energy is at the
present moment coming back to her in the form of negative scenes in her life.
So what she needs to do at that point of time is to create a lot of positive
thoughts, full of purity i.e. thoughts free from lust, anger, greed, attachment
and ego and full of peace, love, joy and spiritual power. Also, these thoughts
should be full of high self-esteem, and focused towards the negative scenes in
her life i.e. creating these powerful thoughts and then complementing them with
thoughts of success. This can do magic and wonders and attract the right
solutions to her illnesses and bring her sorrows to an end. This is what a pure
consciousness can do. Also, if a person is suffering from regular financial losses
and there is no end to them. He could start reading something positive every
morning and meditate every morning for a few minutes. This will make his
Page 26 of 47
consciousness clean and clear and over a period of a few days, he will start
noticing a change in his negative situations and he will attract positive wealth
earning opportunities in his life. This is guaranteed and is consciousness
cleansing in practical life. It is the essence of our lives and the key to
the invisible treasures of peace and joy in our lives.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To have the right attitude is to add meaning to circumstances.
Expression: Circumstances are like objects. They are not alive but they come to
life depending on the kind of attitude that one has. If the attitude is positive,
there is the ability to make situations positive too. But if the attitude is negative,
even the most ordinary situations seem to be negative. So every action done
with such an attitude creates a negative impact on one’s own life and that of
others too.
Experience: When faced with a situation, if I am able to look at it in a positive

way, I am able to make the best of the situation. I accept the situation as it is
and I am able to be happy and light. This positive state of mind creates a great
impact and it spreads around touching the lives of others too.

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
Whenever you step into the daily routine, give yourself a few positive thoughts
which will orient your mind towards a pure consciousness and attitude towards
others. We all know that cleanliness is the original sanskara of the soul and
cleanliness is where there is peace, joy, love and power inside our
consciousness. Also it is where there is no room for emotions or thoughts of
anger, ego, jealousy, hatred and too much thinking about the past or future or
in general about others and what they are doing, which is sometimes
unnecessary.
So, when we start the daily work routine, it is important to read something
positive before that and fill our mind with positivity which will keep our mind
Page 27 of 47
occupied for the rest of the day. This reading of wisdom or spiritual knowledge
or practical tips for mind empowerment early in the morning will change your
mindset and you will feel mentally fresh and powerful. On the other hand, an
empty mind i.e. one that has not filled itself with positive thoughts can easily
come under the influence of the different ups and downs of the day or variety
natures of different people at the workplace or even in your family. Such a
person is constantly vibrant and full of energy, radiating contentment and
without any complaints about life in general and how it is going on. Also, as we
know that food, rest and exercise are the key to a healthy body. In the same
way, experiencing oneself as a soul and experiencing with the eye of
your mind, your spiritual Father, the Supreme Soul or God and charging
yourself with mental energy and positivity is like an exercise. The
exercise of connecting with God, with the power of thought and visualization,
gives the soul a lot of strength. Also positive thoughts are like the food for
the soul. Also, rest for the soul, along with experiencing peace at hourly
intervals, is loving God in different ways all through the day. God is
always with us and teaches us how to radiate good wishes to each soul and tie
them in a bond of pure love with oneself and with God. So, enjoying the
company of God while performing actions and giving that ocean of love, which
you receive from Him, to others, gives a lot of peace, rest and fulfillment to the
soul. This is because you receive a lot of blessings in return, from those whom
you have shared God’s love with.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To be powerful is to destroy unwanted habits.
Expression: To be powerful means to be aware of one’s own hidden powers and

to use these powers in destroying old unwanted habits. It is to apply a powerful
brake to the thoughts in a second, so that there is the ability to master the
situation. Such a person does not fall prey to the situation but makes effort to
become a destroyer of the weakness in a second.
Experience: When I am able to use my inner powers I am able to apply a brake

to my thoughts in a second. I am able to finish old unwanted habits and be free
from the burden of having to be with negativity. So I am able to be a master
who is well equipped to face all situations in life. And I am able to be successful
both in relationships and in my work.
Page 28 of 47
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
Living a life in which there is complete freedom from your old habits makes you
emotionally stronger and also full of all powers which are required to experience
success in all the different types of life situations. So, giving time to checking the
self in this way once a day, at the end of the day, helps us re-condition our self
for the next day and act accordingly. Old habits dominate our thought process
and also do not let us stay in peace and inner contentment. So, whenever you
start the day and enter the field of action, tell yourself that I will experience
inner contentment in all spheres of life. I will do this by remaining in tune with
my original nature of complete purity, peace as well as joy. Where there is purity
of the mind, there will be peace and joy.
Purity can be defined as the complete cleanliness of the mind in which

there is no lust, anger, greed, attachment and ego – the five many
enemies of the soul. These five vices spoil the texture of the soul and
reduce its quality in terms of virtues. Cleanliness is not restricted only to the
absence of a particular vice but is the complete quality of the soul with a holistic
meaning. But, holistic cleanliness means a mind which has completely freed
itself from all the vices e.g. excessive misuse of anger to get work done is a vice
but assertiveness to do the same is not a vice. Also, excessive misuse of greed
to achieve big things in life is a vice but being reasonably ambitious to do the
same is not a vice. Another example - loving your family members with joy is
not a vice but being attached to them, which causes sorrow at times, is a vice.
Also, being full of self-esteem and being happy about your specialties and
talents is not a vice but becoming egoistic about them as well as boasting about
them is a vice. So cleanliness means having the knowledge of all the vices
and all their different shades and remaining free from them.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
The best way to change others is to remain peaceful.
Expression: When there is behaviour seen which is not to my liking or approval,

there is a tendency to get upset and worked up about it. So immediately, this is
Page 29 of 47
brought into words and actions also. Getting agitated or excited doesn’t however
solve the problem. When there is the ability to remain peaceful, the right
solution is found and there is the right response to the problem at hand.
Experience: When I am able to maintain my inner peace under all

circumstances and with all people, I am able to use the power of my thoughts to
bring about a change in the mind of others too. I find myself discovering the
power of my inner potential and am able to use it for my own benefit and that of
others.

India - The Golden Sparrow Of The World
(Spiritual Message On Republic Day – January 26th)
Today (January 26th) is Republic Day. India is the most ancient country in

the world with a very rich heritage. It was known as the Golden Sparrow of
the World. We, as Indians today, take pride that we belong to this most
beautiful country in the world, considered the epicentre of spirituality, religion
and devotion. India was the one who gave the world the purest deities or devi
devtas who are worshipped even till now; famous and noble personalities in
different spheres; spiritual wisdom of the soul, God and the World Drama and
very importantly immense love for God. Today, we celebrate a special day when
India became a Republic in 1950. God is remembered as the Supreme Father
and Mother in prayers in India. The incarnation of God in India to make it the
Golden Sparrow of the World again is celebrated as Shiv Jayanti. Let's look at 5
ways in which we can help God in this task -
1. Remembering God in meditation and radiating pure vibrations to the world.
2. Listening to God's spiritual wisdom and making the mind and intellect
positive.
3. Creating a peaceful, loveful and joyful atmosphere in our homes and offices.
4. Making our each thought, habit, word and action beautiful, sweet and humble.
5. Sharing spiritual wisdom received from God, with others we meet and talk to.
-----------------------------------------

To be merciful means to transform the pain and sorrow of others.
Expression: The one who is merciful always has the feeling of mercy and is able
to help those who are in need or in distress. Such a person is able to bring about
transformation in others too because of his own pure feelings. He is able to put
in effort that becomes a contribution for the progress of others.
Experience: When I have mercy for others, I am able to accept their feelings,

emotions and behaviour and provide them with the right kind of mental support.
Then I am able to give them courage without being influenced negatively with
their feelings of pain and sorrow. So my mercy influences myself positively too
as I am able to keep myself positive under all circumstances.

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
Withdraw From Outer Chaos And Inner Emotions
The ability to withdraw can be correlated with the behaviour of a tortoise. When
it senses any danger a tortoise withdraws within its tough shell. Introspection is
about stepping inside and meeting myself a few times during the day. This inner
quietness recharges our battery. By going deeper inside and concentrating
on the self, we draw closer to God and receive a current of pure energy
that dissolves negative sanskaras. Practicing regularly for a minute every
hour helps us to conquer wrong habits. Once we get into the habit of connecting
to the self and God, we can do it in the midst of any situation. Using this ability
we continue to be with people and amidst challenges but withdraw internally
from the energy of the situation. We step back from our emotions, detach and
see if we are creating any turbulence. If so, we understand that our ego is
causing pain and hence remind our self that peace is needed, thereby emerging
thoughts of peace.
Withdrawing offers us the ability to examine a situation from all

perspectives. It brings us clarity to create and choose the right
response. So we do not react impulsively using old patterns of
behaving. We also do not get sucked into the energies present around us. We
connect to our inner self and experience stillness when we withdraw from outer
Page 31 of 47
chaos and our inner emotions. It is in this stillness that we will find creative
solutions to our problems. The ability of being with people and withdrawing from
their energy protects us. The energy of peace with which we respond to them
empowers them also.
Go into your shell and ask yourself today – Do I have any habits that have a
negative impact on my daily behaviours? How can I start to shift or dissolve this
habit?
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To transform waste into something purposeful and powerful is to remain

light.
Expression: To successfully transform something waste into something

powerful and meaningful is to look beyond the situation and see what it has to
teach. When there is the ability to do this, there is the ability to go on in spite of
the most challenging obstacles. There is the deep understanding that nothing
happens without a purpose. There is no time or energy wasted in wasteful
company.
Experience: When I understand the significance of everything that happens, I

am able to transform in a second. So I am able to remain light because I am
able to put in sincere effort and free myself from the burden of waste. I also find
that there is no problem in my relationships too, as I am able to understand
others and behave accordingly.

Creating The Destiny Of Your Choice (Part 2)
We want a destiny of peace, love, happiness, health, wealth and

harmony. To change our destiny, we will need to create the right
thoughts and to make that happen in a natural way, we need to
consume pure information. Stop and check the quality of information we are
feeding the mind daily. Very often, we are feeding our self with information full
of terror, violence, hatred, ridicule, impurity, manipulation … which is reflecting
Page 32 of 47
in our destiny today. The next time we receive any information, we need to
check whether it is the right diet for us to be spiritually, emotionally, physically
and socially healthy. If not, let us not read or absorb it, like we refuse to eat
food which is not right for us. Reading negative information and sharing it with
friends is creating a deep karma of radiating negative energy and this collective
energy makes our world what it is today.
Let us begin the day with ten minutes of healthy information. Spiritual
information can be our friend on this journey. Information full of wisdom and
deep insights which nurture the mind and empower us to create right thoughts
in every situation and choose a beautiful destiny daily. Facing a challenge or just
a little confused … our friend is always with us. Just read a little piece of spiritual
information and read every word and feel the mind getting strengthened to cross
the challenge in a dignified way.
Creating a destiny of our choice … It’s only one thought away!
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To have a clear aim of where the action will lead is to be successful in

everything.
Expression: Many a times it so happens that one acts immediately seeing a

situation. But the one who is successful analyses the situation and predicts the
outcome of the action that he performs and then acts keeping the end result in
mind. Because of knowing the consequences of the actions before actually
performing that action, he is able to continue putting in effort in spite of the
challenges and difficulties. So he continues to give his best to the task.
Experience: When I am able to give time to myself to think before performing

any action, I am able to take the opportunity to be clear in my thinking. The
consequences of the action I wish to take are clear in my mind and so, the
action taken to overcome the situation is right. Hence, I receive easy and sure
success.

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
Page 33 of 47
Creating The Destiny Of Your Choice (Part 1)
In this information age, we have an overflow of knowledge. Do we pause and

check the quality of the information we are consuming? Does it matter or
can we listen, read and watch everything that is fed to us. Like food is a vital
part of our body, information is the food for the mind. Every piece of information
we consume becomes the source of our thoughts. Our every thought is followed
by a feeling. Feelings over a period of time develop our attitude. Attitude comes
out into action. Any action done repeatedly becomes a habit. All our habits put
together is our personality. Our personality radiates energy and as will be the
energy we send out, so will be the energy we receive according to the law
of karma, which becomes our destiny. Let us be aware of this inner process
and see the impact of our thoughts on our destiny and the influence of
information on our thoughts. Simple formula Information = Destiny.
Let us take simple scenes of our life and check how we react – Your child has not
reached home and phone is not reachable … are thoughts of worry, anxiety and
mishap natural? You have worked very hard on an assignment and you get
criticism in return … are thoughts of hurt natural? You expect someone to
behave in a particular way and they just do not seem to understand … are
thoughts of irritation and anger natural? We live in a world where uncomfortable
emotions like stress, anger, rejection, hurt, jealousy, resentment are being
called natural. This chain of emotions means we are creating a disturbed mind,
diseased body and conflicting relationships.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To search for solutions is to use resources for the right cause.
Expression: Usually a lot of energy and time is wasted to find the cause of

something that goes wrong. But thinking about that only wastes the resources
that could be used for finding solutions. So it is not necessary to understand the
causes but to find solutions. So the one who understands this fact is able to
make the best use of available resources to correct the situation.
Experience: Being focused on the solution rather than on the problem, I am

able to use all my inner resources in the right way. I am free from complaints
and am able to put in effort to do the best in the given situation. I am constantly
happy and content because I know that there is a solution for every problem.

Experiencing Compassion For People Who Are Different
Only by acknowledging how you fundamentally view the world

differently from others can you develop the awareness to have
compassion for those who are different from you. Different means
everyone you come in contact with.
Being judgmental or critical about others behaviours comes naturally to most of

us and we always feel we are right in what we feel about them. Very easily we
label people right or wrong. But right or wrong according to who? According to
our perspective. The same situation is perceived differently by different people
and we are not able to understand them because we can only see things through
our perspective. Our perspective is created based on our sanskars and past
experiences. These sanskars become the lens through which we will see the
situation. Different people will perceive it differently and we often find ourselves
saying - we just don't understand them!!! Let us understand that there is no
right or wrong, we are just different. Parents are right, children are wrong;
Husband is right, wife is wrong; Boss is right, subordinate is wrong - these rights
and wrongs make us withdraw our trust and respect in relationships. We are
only different, each of us is carrying different sanskars and can see the situation
only through the lens of our own sanskars and so each of us is always right from
our perspective.
When we start seeing each one with this understanding we will shift from
criticism to compassion, and our love and respect for them will remain constant.
However unreasonable we might find them, let us remember they are feeling
and behaving through their sanskars and so they are absolutely right.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To forgive is to give correction.
Expression: When there is forgiveness, the harm of the mistake is forgotten.

The mistake itself is remembered only to the extent that the correction is to be
given. So there are no negative feelings expressed even while giving correction.
And the words that are used are few but prove to be very effective.
Experience: When I learn the art of forgiving I am able to be free from the
Page 35 of 47
burden of negative and waste thinking. So there is never any difficulty in giving
correction when necessary. The mind is free from the attitudes of the past and it
creates harmony in relationships even if the opinions or personalities don’t
match.

--------------------------------------

Inner Power In Students (Part 2)
We understood how students can fare well in exams while retaining inner powers
of peace and emotional health. It is beautiful and important to remain that way
even during results. Let us see how to make that happen.
Role As A Student -
1. Talents and capacities of students differ, so I should never compare my result
with others'. The only question to answer is - Had I performed to the best of my
ability?
2. If I had given my best in the exams, no need to worry. Creating anxiety
before results are announced will impact my health, not my scores.
3. If I had not given my best and hence scored low, I should not go into pain.
From time to time, my mind will create thoughts of guilt. With understanding, I
immediately change the thought to - I will not waste energy or time dwelling in
the past. It is over, finished. I focus on what to do at present so I excel in future
exams.
4. If I had performed to my highest potential yet scored low, I should not feel
guilty but create one thought - I am proud of having given my best and will
continue doing so, without losing enthusiasm.
Role As A Parent (or A Family Member) -

1. Students with poor scores fear parents' impulsive reaction more than the
result. By creating anger or hurt, by discussing results often, or even by thinking
about it, I radiate rejection to my child who is already in pain.
2. My first role is to accept the situation by responding with emotional stability,
realizing that my child now needs empathy.
3. My second role is to empower my child by radiating unconditional love and
compassion, which boosts my child's inner power to perform well next time. It
also builds a strong emotional bond between us.
4. Exams and good scores are very important. But I cannot allow poor results to
affect health, happiness, or harmony at home.
Page 36 of 47
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To do something altruistic each day is to ensure happiness.
Expression: When there is the thought to do something altruistic for someone

every day, there is the ability to give happiness unconditionally. Whatever the
relationship or whatever the personality of the other person, the one who
develops the habit of doing this, is able to remain a source of support for those
around.
Experience: The best gift I can give is to give happiness and to finish sorrow.
When I am constantly thinking of this, not for any reward but just for the sake of
it, I am able to discover and enjoy the fruit of that action. I am free from
expectations and am able to enjoy the action itself.

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
Inner Power In Students (Part 1)
Students at the brink of exams or results always have two choices - to remain
calm or create chaos. Their inner emotional power determines what they choose.
Emotionally empowered students bravely face any exam, whether in academics
or personal life. Today the focus is chiefly on physical aspects like physical
health, admission in the best institute, long study hours and diet. Emotional
health is ignored, leading to creation of stress, anxiety, fear, even disinterest in
studies. Let us explore ways to increase inner power in students before and
during exams.
1. Wake up early. Thereafter make the most of morning hours to study as a

fresh mind has the highest absorption power. Go to bed early at night. Staying
up late is not wise, as a tired mind takes longer to grasp or retain information.
2. Before studying and before writing an exam, connect to God to take His
power and blessings.
3. Prepare affirmations such as - I am a powerful, knowledgeful student. I follow
discipline in my study routine. My concentration, memory and grasping abilities
are excellent. I learn everything with respect and interest. My performance in
the coming exams will be the best.
Page 37 of 47
4. Repeat the affirmations 3 times as the first thoughts in the morning. Do not
dilute them with doubts or negativity. Revise them after every hour. At night, go
to sleep with these as last thoughts.
5. When pausing to revise affirmations, check the quality of thoughts. Stop and
change negative or waste thoughts to prevent leakage of energy.
6. Stay away from distractions of every kind. Negative conversations, conflicts
and gossip deplete the inner power needed for studies.
7. During study breaks, do not consume negative information. Listen, watch or
read positive information. It increases inner power.
8. Remember: Peace is our internal creation, exam is an external event. So
exam or hard work never causes stress. Our thoughts of anxiety or fear causes
it.
In tomorrow’s message we will look at how to face exam results with stability.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To be clean at heart is to give happiness to others.
Expression: The one who has a clean heart is the one who always tries to do
the best for those with whom he comes in contact. Thus, the person develops
the ability to accept others as they are and ignore anything wrong done by
them. Instead, he is able to do the right action without losing the balance. So
such a person brings happiness for himself and for others through every action
he performs.
Experience: When I have a clean heart I am able to have an experience of my

inner qualities. I am able to enjoy the beauty of the different relationships, each
relationship and each person being unique. Thus others are able to get in touch
with their inner beauty too. So there is happiness experienced by all.

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
The Right Intention For Happy Relationships
Never do anything for anyone, do only for yourself. Sound selfish, but
herein lies the secret of being selfless.
Page 38 of 47
With relationships often are attached words like sacrifice, compromise and
adjustment. Each word sounds more like a suffering rather than happiness.
Relationships give us the opportunity to do a lot for others, but we need to check
our intention. If we think we are doing it for them, then we could be doing it
outwardly but not necessarily be happy inside. If we have negative thoughts of
unwillingness or resentment and we do the right action, neither we nor they will
be happy, because they will receive our mental energy. And then we will feel we
did so much for them and they are still not happy. Before doing anything,
introspect - why do I want to do it … because they will be happy …why do I want
them to be happy…because they matter to me and there will be harmony in the
relationship…if there is harmony, I will be happy…so I am doing it for my
happiness, not for them.
Actually we are always doing it for ourselves, but we believe we are doing it for
them. We are not making any sacrifices or compromises, we are doing it for our
own happiness and this is liberation. We no longer feel like a victim; we are
doing everything for our own self; we are responsible for the consequences of
the decision and most important we don’t expect them to do anything for
us. Let’s think of all the things we feel we have done for people and yet
felt very let down by them…let’s check today, till we finally come to the
answer – I was doing it for myself.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
Humility is to respect everything that comes our way.
Expression: To love simple things is humility. It teaches to respect all that life
brings. That means there is an ability to appreciate and value everything
appropriately. So one is able to use everything that comes one way to the fullest
extent for the benefit of the self and that of others.
Experience: When I am humble I am able to remain focused on my inner peace

and not lose my sense of personal well-being. I am able to simply learn from
everything that happens to my life and add on to this sense of well-being. No
situation is difficult or impossible to work on, but I am able to overcome all
challenges with ease.

Life Beyond Life (Part 3)
What type of consciousness should one keep on being faced with the
death of a close relative, so that one remains protected from the sorrow
related to such a sudden loss? If we say that it’s not death but a life beyond life
and a shift to a new life existence, we might question and might ask something.
That how do we fill the emptiness left in our life and how do we not remember
the close loved one, with whom we spent millions of minutes, sharing and
receiving so much love and happiness, something which have left deep
impressions on our heart, which are difficult to erase. On one hand, we should,
on being faced with the death of a close one, conduct group meditation, and
pass on the positive energy of peace and power to a departed soul, which help it
to go into a life setting with the best of the different pillars of life existence.
These pillars are – material comforts, a healthy body and beautiful relationships.
Also, this positive energy helps it to adapt easily and in a short period of time to
the new environment along with slowly coming to terms with the shift that it is
making. Also, we should, during this time, have a deep relationship with the
Supreme which will help us to be strong and also study spiritual wisdom which
will help us to become content. Also love for serving each one whom we meet,
with virtues and powers and being absorbed in the Supreme’s task of positive
world change will help us rise above the difficult time phase.
Lastly, we realize that the reality of life beyond life is something that many
of us know or have heard of, but at the same time, we are not
empowered enough to accept the reality and live the reality. Spiritual
understanding empowers us to do that.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To have an open mind is to be prepared for mistakes too.
Expression: The one with an open mind is the one who is able to see things for
what they are and accept them. He is able to take the lesson from each situation
that happens and move forward with confidence. He never lets any situation or
even his own mistake discourage him, but he is able to move forward with
renewed confidence.
Experience: I am able to learn from my mistakes and be ready for the next
learning too when I am able to keep my mind open. Each mistake that happens
is also a beautiful teaching when I am willing to learn. With each new situation I
find myself growing very beautifully within.

--------------------------------------
A new born child is a new entrant in a new home with new parents. Each day
thousands of new-borns get new homes and new parents. These births are
accompanied by celebrations for the parents and other family members. But
have you ever stopped to wonder that behind the curtains of these celebrations
are feelings of loss in the family members where these souls or spiritual energies
leave old physical bodies, what we commonly call death. We can call it Life
Beyond Life. The concept of birth and re-birth or life beyond life has been a
topic of debate since time immemorial. Over the ages, many philosophers, the
spiritually inclined, the religious minded and people associated with medicine
have talked in favour of this reality, which they believe is embedded in the fabric
of life. On the other hand, some have been non-committal or unsure in their
approach and some have even expressed disbelief at the idea because of lack of
ample evidence. Though today, proof in its favour has surfaced in various
corners of the world through past life regression, near death experiences and
case studies by medical journals, accompanied by records of a significant
number of people who have remembered their past birth.
So, living in a world giving ample proof for the concept today, accompanied by
deep experiences of the existence of the soul and its immortality (it never dies)
by good meditators and people who are followers of different religions all across
the world, one needs to develop strong faith in it. A faith that my family
member, who has left me, has transferred himself/herself to a new
reality, a new joy filled and love filled existence, a new set of parents, a
new healthy body and a new set of friends, relatives and brothers and
sisters. So it’s not death but a new life beyond this life. This is a more positive
perception.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To use one value with commitment is to guarantee the use of all values.
Expression: Values are related to each other as if they were members of a

great family. For the one who is committed to one value is the one who is able
Page 41 of 47
to emerge the other connected values. Such a person is able to add quality to
everything he does and speaks.
Experience: When I am able to recognise my own special value and use it with

commitment in my daily life, I am able to experience success in all I do. This is
because I have the satisfaction of giving my best and of having added quality to
everything I do.

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
Have you ever looked at a new born child and glanced at the expressions on his
face? Why is there a magnetic aura about a baby’s features that attracts one
and all? The innocence, the sparkling smile, the beautiful eyes, the angelic
cheeks, the shining forehead, the round, pure face and the soft whispering
sounds makes one wonder what is so special about the spiritual energy inside
such a baby that tries to convey so much to us. Such a spiritual energy is in a
meditative state or a soul conscious state.
In the nine month gestation (pregnancy) period of a mother, the spiritual energy
which has to own a particular physical costume, enters the womb of a mother
and adopts the physical foetus (which is semi-developed) as its own in the fourth
or fifth month. A wonder of nature is that a spiritual energy that has been
exposed to different types of situations and relationships and played different
roles as an adult in its previous life, suddenly forgets all that and becomes a
very pure and divine being as soon as it enters the foetus inside its mother’s
womb. It becomes a being that is cut off from the physical existence and almost
in a thoughtless state of meditation. Here by meditation we mean a state that is
self-aware or soul conscious, not in body consciousness. It even forgets its past
life almost completely and starts adopting itself to the new environment inside
the mother. On one side, its physical body continues to receive physical
sustenance from the mother as before its entry and on the other side it
vibrates its mental energy to its physical body which also helps it grow
physically. As the personality of the spiritual energy, so is the energy radiated,
resulting in a healthy or unhealthy body. Once the baby is born, a few subtle
traces of consciousness or remembrance of the past life do remain inside the
spiritual energy, because of which sometimes when these remembrances surface
inside the minds of babies, they smile or become sombre (serious) or even cry in
their sleep, depending on the type of past remembrance.
Page 42 of 47
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
To look closely at one's own behaviour is to bring about a positive

change.
Expression: While it is easy to talk about what other people should do to

change themselves and their behaviour, it is also important to see what one can
do to bring about a change in oneself. When there is the ability to look in this
way, effort is put in continuously to change old unwanted patterns of behaviour
and replace with more desirable ones.
Experience: When I am able to take a closer look at myself, I am able to see

which trait in my personality is getting in the way of my progress. This
knowledge helps me accept myself with my shortcomings and yet have the
courage to bring about a change easily. So I have the satisfaction of working on
myself.

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
5 New Year Resolutions For 2021
1. Let me experience the beauty of myself, every person around me and nature.
Let me affirm to myself everyday in this year - I am a very special soul, filled
with many specialties and qualities, everyone I meet is also beautiful and special
and I am thankful to nature which has blessed me with its purity and beauty.
2. Let me remember only the good scenes of the past year and love them and
enjoy them at every moment in the coming year. Let me experience always - I
am very stable and powerful and life is beautiful at every step. Negative scenes
are teachers and sources of power for me, I accept them with ease and
gratitude.
3. Let every interaction with everyone in this year be filled with positivity,
harmony and purpose. Gift everyone with peace, love, joy, strength and
enthusiasm. Let your face and actions reveal goodness and perfection to
Page 43 of 47
everyone and bring them closer to you and make all your relationships beautiful.
4. Let the coming year end without any whys, hows, whens and whats in
situations. When the whys come, say fly in joy. When hows come, say God
knows best. When the whens come, say at the right time in the right way. When
the whats come, say there is benefit which will be revealed soon.
5. Make God your best friend in this year. Everyday experience all relationships
with Him. Talk to Him everyday in your thoughts - I am the luckiest soul in the
world who has God as His mother, father, teacher, guru and companion. I will
colour every scene of the New Year with His love and remembrance.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
Patience brings easy solutions.
Expression: What one cannot achieve with pressure can be very easily achieved
with patience. Patience brings a state of calm inside which helps in finding the
answers that already lie within. It gives courage to work on the problem in a cool
and relaxed way till the solution is found. It brings creativity even to mundane
things.
Experience: When I am able remain patient even in the most challenging

situations, I am able to remain calm. I don’t let go of my inner peace but am
able to be aware of my own inner resources. I am able to retain my inner
strength which gives me courage to find the solution for every problem.

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
Time Management With Ease (Part 3)
Very often, apart from creating the right type of thoughts, which help in
proper time management, what is required is a good balance. I need to
check myself whether my time given to different actions is being distributed
properly. These actions could be your work, your hobbies, your personal life,
your health, your relationships and all other areas of your life. Very often we
define success wrongly for ourselves and run after it with the wrong beliefs
acquired over a long time. As a result, our time sometimes gets utilized in the
wrong way. So, I need to check aspects like which relationships of mine are the
Page 44 of 47
most important ones. I need to also check how much importance do I give to my
work and to what extent I give it time. Also, is the balance between my personal
and professional life okay? I analyze all this, keeping in mind the correct
definition of success, which is not only material success, but a content mind and
heart. Contentment is inner success and more important than material
success. Once I understand my priorities correctly, my time starts
flowing in the right direction, in the right manner.
I need to also check what I may gain or lose in every action of mine in the form
of my internal mind’s treasures like peace, love and joy. Suppose I am running
after my work ambitions in the search of success, but am I neglecting my
relationships, my health or my peace of mind in the process? Also, some
relationships may be giving me temporary happiness but are they taking me
away from my relationship with God? After all, if my relationship with God is
strong, all my other relationships will be successful. The answers to all these and
many such similar questions lead me to a good time distribution in my life, also
called time management.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
True detachment gives a chance for others to grow.
Expression: Where there is detachment there is the ability to let go. There is

also an equal amount of love, but along with it is the ability to give others an
opportunity to be themselves. One’s own attitude or expectations don’t colour
the perception and others get a chance to express themselves easily and
naturally.
Experience: When I am detached, I am also loving. I am able to watch with

inner happiness all that life brings into each one’s lives. Neither do I take over
other peoples’ lives and feel disappointed when things go wrong, nor do I leave
them to their fate. I am able to see their inner capabilities and get each one to
become self-reliant.

--------------------------------------
Time Management With Ease (Part 2)
Page 45 of 47
Whenever we are very busy, we need to take a break for a minute or two and
talk to ourselves and give ourselves a few positive thoughts. In this way, the
negative thoughts will be replaced and reduced in your mind. We need a
concentrated mind and intellect to perform actions in a positive manner. E.g. if
at a certain point of time, the requirement of your mind is peace, say to yourself
- My real nature is peace and I am originally a peaceful being or energy. Also,
look at everyone around you and create the simple thoughts - The energy of my
peace is spreading to everyone around me and giving peace to them. In a
similar manner, if you are stressed because of a relationship, talk to yourself - I
am a sweet natured soul and I have to give love to everyone, even if I am not
receiving the same from others. You could also think – I am radiating love to my
home or my office and changing its atmosphere to a one filled with good wishes
and good feelings.
This can be done for one minute every hour. As explained in yesterday’s
message, depending on what you need, create the relevant thoughts.
Remember, these thoughts will make your workplace and your home as
per what you think and feel. Also, before that happens, your own mind
will become just like what you think. Your thoughts will influence your
feelings and attitudes accordingly. Relationships will become successful and
people will start co-operating with you much more. Also, you will be able to
satisfy people much more with your words and actions.
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
The best comparison is the comparison with oneself.
Expression: The one who is comparing oneself with what he was and seeing
how he can improve or how he has improved is the one who is constantly
bringing about progress in his own life. On the contrary the one who is
comparing himself with others is the one who is constantly finding excuses and
leaving behind the opportunities that he gets for bringing about a change.
Experience: When I am free from excuses and free from comparison with

others, I am able to be light even in the most challenging circumstances. I am
not caught up with my own mistakes or those of others, but am able to
constantly add on to my treasure store of experiences and be richer and richer
with every new challenge faced.
